Employee Giving Campaign

Dear UNTHSC Faculty and Staff,

The past few months have been full of firsts for me as your interim president. One first I am especially excited about is the Employee Giving Campaign—Together We Give, Together We Thrive!

There is something so incredible about seeing employees come together to give back and support where they work. It is important to remember during a campaign like this that every gift matters – no matter the amount. While raising financial support for UNTHSC is an important goal of this campaign, knowing we have your support is the greatest reward we could receive.

As we prepare to kick off this year’s Employee Giving Campaign, I want to take a moment to reflect on what this campaign means for the future of our students, faculty and staff.

At UNTHSC, we are united through our mission to create solutions for a healthier community. That starts with UNTHSC employees. How? Our faculty and staff need to be properly equipped to train our students to be the providers, researchers and public health professionals of the future. If we can’t train them properly, we can’t live out our mission. It truly starts with you.

By supporting the Employee Giving Campaign, you are directly impacting the lives of those who will go on to make a difference in the world. Whether it’s through scholarships, research funding, student services or any of our other programs, your donation provides critical resources needed to make a difference.

The campaign officially kicks off tomorrow, but you can join me in making your gift online today.

• HSC’s Employee Giving Campaign is an opportunity for faculty and staff to give back financially to support the institution’s mission and current initiatives.
• The focus is employee participation. Every gift, no matter the size, fuels the extraordinary work happening at HSC!

• The campaign is held once each year.
• The 2025 campaign begins April 1 and concludes April 30.

• Employees may support any existing fund or current initiative.
• Employees are encouraged to give to the area(s) that is most important to them.

• Payroll deduction is the preferred method of giving. Employees can have a greater impact when the donation is spread out over an entire year. For example, $10 per month will provide a $120 impact!
• One-time gifts may be made online or by personal check or cash using the campaign pledge form.

• The employee campaign is about participation. All employees are encouraged to give at a level that is right for them.
• Gifts are fully tax-deductible.

• Your participation fosters a stronger sense of community. When every employee participates, it cultivates a shared commitment to HSC’s mission.
• Your gift helps provide vital funding for student scholarships, research, and other initiatives such as the student food pantry or student emergency fund.
• Employee giving can influence gifts from corporations and foundations, many of which consider faculty and staff giving rates when deciding where to provide philanthropic support.

The following funds have been identified as priority giving opportunities; however, employees are encouraged to give to any area they are passionate about supporting.

All UNTHSC full-time employees are eligible to attend the luncheon on May 5 and be entered into any of the prize drawings.  For more information, please email foundation@unthsc.edu.
